<h2>Denounce AI</h2>
<p>Recently I have read a blog post by <a href="https://www.jwz.org/">Jamie Zawinski</a> on <a href="https://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.html">Anthony Moser’s opinion</a> about the current developments in AI.
With this blog post I want to try to formulate my arguments against the overwhelming reliance on AI nowadays.
This has been my point of view for a while, however I would like to now clearly state why I think the direction the technology world is heading is wrong.</p>
<p>AI, although currently being hyped beyond reason, has been around since the previous century.
However, with the release of ChatGPT to the public, generative models have entered the lives of everyone.
As a Computer Science student I have first hand witnessed the effects of a paradigm shift in many domains, and after 2 years I believe that relying on content generated by artificial intelligence is simply harmful.</p>
<p>As an avid fan of english literature I really like reading well-written books.
It is a great feeling to be able to appreciate the intricacies of the language and the craftsmanship of the author, who has taken the time (sometimes decades) to write about a certain topic.
If you read a lot, you can often tell a well-written book from a poorly constructed one, and if enough people realize this, the society awards great writers with prizes and honors.
However, with the rise of large language models, essays, books, novels and whatever else you name it can be created within a single prompt.
While the quality of such writing can be questionable, it is to be realized that this takes away the very essence and purpose of writing in the first place.
When you put pen to paper you both try to advance your own thinking and convey your feelings and views to a broader audience.
It is your opinion and findings that matter, and this is by no means a trivial process.
Using artificial intelligence to write for you, or help you write, or correct your writing defeats the purpose of writing something in the first place.
This is also the right moment to point out the current concerns regarding this for the book authors and artist of any other kind as well.
AI is slowly getting better and better at this kind of work, rendering virtually impossible for me right now to distinguish e.g., electronic music generated by AI and created by humans.
This poses a threat to the literature and artistic community, and by proxy, to readers and everyone interested in art.
I consciously cannot use such technology knowing that it displaces the very people I admire the work of.</p>
<p>I think the point made by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki">Hayao Miyazaki</a>, the studio Ghibli founder behind some of the best animated movies of the last century summarizes it pretty well.
Recently there has been a viral video going on of him saying in 2016 how he believes AI to be <em>an insult to life itself</em>.
As strong of an opinion as it is, I sympathize with his standpoint of view.
Being an artist and designer, seeing your life’s work being completely overtaken by soulless software must be terrifying.</p>
<p>I will probably be updating this blog post to review my arguments and add on top of everything.
Maybe who knows, one day I might change my mind, but if it happens so, I will for sure write another post about it.
Thanks for reading!</p>
